Nathan, you’re a shell survey star!
Three more beach shell surveys last Sunday (Rosebud, Capel Sound and Safety Beach) and the project just gets more fascinating. But the highlight of my week was receiving a CD of photos in the mail from young Nathan of North Sunshine.
He and his folks had surveyed McCrae Beach a couple of weeks ago and filled out the sheet perfectly. I was SSSOOOO HAPPY to see the survey method works… and that people would actually go to the trouble of mailing the results to me.
Nathan’s a natural at finding rare shells. He found a paper nautilus when I met him at Dromana in January 09. Now he’s followed up with this one….
Nathan's rare find at McCrae
I haven’t come across one of these on any of the 25 other beaches surveyed so far.
Dunno what it’s called. Maybe someone out there has the answer?
